And the Lord shall cover him all the day long

I went to bed last night, very troubled.

Like Peter, I “saw the wind boisterous.” And like him, I “was afraid.”

So this morning’s reading was especially good for my soul…

Yes, like Peter, I see the wind boisterous. And fear tries to embrace me. Tight. Does embrace me. I need the everlasting arms, underneath.

Like Peter, I need to cast all my care upon Jesus, for He cares for me.
